Activate Men as AlliesWith DDI’s Men as Allies session (face-to-face or virtual), you can create a more equitable and gender-diverse workplace extended to both men and women. This session empowers male bosses and colleagues to be allies to women. It uniquely focuses on what men can do to champion women versus what they cannot do.

Male executives are in a unique and powerful position to make substantial advancements with gender equality within their organization. The Men as Allies Executive Session includes all foundational content covered in the standard Men as Allies course, with activities and content leveled-up to accommodate an audience of top-level leaders. After surfacing top organizational barriers to Women in Leadership, participants define actions to address and overcome the identified challenges. Participants then establish lead and lag measures to monitor progress toward a more gender diverse leadership pool. Opportunities for ongoing post-session dialogue and consulting are also available.

DDI is passionate about the cause of advancing women in leadership. Women comprise 53% of our leadership bench.
